| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Electrical system failure - twice my jeep wrangler x 4x4 stalled and lost power while i was driving 65-70 mph on a major freeway in high traffic. both cases are virtually identical. first occurrence was in feb. 17, 2007 and the 2nd time was today, april 23rd. i had been driving for about 30-40 minutes before the power loss occurred. the car lost power, jerking like it had been down shifted incorrectly. all the lights on the dashboard turned on, the radio turned off and the gas bell rang. within 3-5 seconds the car jerked sharply as the power came back on. i brought the car in to the dealership service center after the first incident and was told that they couldn't find the problem but they had "uploaded some new software". i asked if they had received any complaints of this type of electrical failure and was told no. i am bringing it back in again tomorrow morning. with no way to pull off the freeway, i was extremely lucky not to have been hit by the 18 wheeler that was right behind me during the first incident and the fast moving traffic behind me today. there were two other electrical incidents that happened during the last week in march. on march 28th, i started the car everything worked as normal but the radio wouldn't turn on and the clock wasn't on. after being on the road for an hour the radio and clocked came on by themselves. on march 29th, the passenger airbag light came on after i had been driving 10 minutes - there was nothing on the seat - it went off about 40 minutes later. i made an appointment that day to bring the car in on sat. march 31st, when i got there i was told that the tech's that handle the electrical work aren't in on saturdays. i will have them look at this tomorrow too. *tr |
